Biographies

OLDHAM, WILFRID (1890-1959), university lecturer and historian, was born on 8 June 1890 at Kabakada, near Rabaul, New Britain, second son of Victorian-born parents Frederic Bignell Oldham, Methodist minister, and his wife Alice Edith, née Crothers. In 1894 the family moved to New Zealand, where Wilfrid attended state primary schools at Pukekohe and Gisborne. After his father was transferred to circuits in South Australia, Wilfrid continued his schooling at Port Augusta and Naracoorte, and in Adelaide.
